Blindness and vision impairment place a significant economic burden on families, communities, and society.  About 85% of all vision impairment and 75% of blindness globally could be avoided, prevented or cured if the properly trained personnel and care facilities existed. Uncorrected refractive error is the major cause of avoidable vision impairment, and the second most common cause of blindness. Millions of children are losing educational opportunities and adults are excluded from productive working lives, with severe economic and social consequences without appropriate optical correction. Individuals and families are pushed into a cycle of deepening poverty because of their eyesight.
